Pigeon poo problem in garden leaves grandma feeling like she 'wants to boak'

A grandma claims that pesky pigeons nesting on her roof are pooing so much in her garden that it is making her life a nightmare. Elizabeth Walker, 75, says the birds are constantly either cooing or pooing, leaving her garden looking 'absolutely disgusting'.

The grandma-of-eight and mother-of-five said her grandchildren can't play in her garden any longer due to the amount of bird excrement in the grass. She described the poo as going 'rock hard when the weather is dry' but turning to 'slime and slop' when it rains.

She is also concerned about the potential health risks and germs as her husband Harry - who is 82 - is poorly and has recently been in hospital with infections. Elizabeth lives on a new-build estate in Middlesbrough in a property owned by housing association Thirteen, she told TeessideLive.
